Hey Gang,



I am intrested in supplementing my M&P 40 with a home defense shotgun. I like the looks of this product and was curious of anyone's experience with Mossbergs.

Scroll down about 1/4 of the page for the gun.



I was thinking about a marinecote shotgun, but was curious if the black matte is rust resistant?



Thanks for any input...

I have a Mossberg 590 that I love it's a great shotgun if you need something for home defense. After all a pistol is only to fight your way to something bigger.

I would recommend a Mossberg any day of the week, proven to be reliable in uncertain conditions.

Sorry I forgot to edit those pics to fit the forum, but its done now...

Awesome pics!

Can anyone fill me in as to the long term durability of the black matte finish?



Thanks so much!

It's OK, but I really like the John Wayne Ruger!

The Mossberg is a fine choice.

I chose the BLUED version over the PARKERIZED simply because the PARKERIZED i too rough. You cant use anything to wipe it down but maybe steel wool, just kidding. I simply like to wipe my weapons down with a light coat of oil and micro fiber cloth. But on the down side, my 590 is glossy compared to PARKERIZED models. I personally havent had any wear problems, nor have my friends with PARKERIZED models.

mossberg 500 cruiser pistol grip costs about 200-275 the sound that everyone in the world can recognize is a shotgun being racked a pistol grip might kick a little but hey the sound will really get someones attention :wink:

I own a Mossberg 500A Persuader. It's a good, dependable and affordable shotgun, but a tad hard to control with the pistol grip. IMO the intimitation factor is it's best feature. Just pull it out and when a bad guy sees it and hears you pump a shell in the chamber, he knows he's in trouble and chances are you never need to fire it as he quickly goes in the opposite direction. A gun is a gun is a gun... but a short 12 ga shotgun grabs their attention quickly and much more than a handgun....

I will throw my old mossy 500 just for an idea how versatile these bad boys are :wink: I miss it already and plan on another mossy 500 soon

Never used one for personal defense, unless that turkey was trying to attack me???? Either way, he lost. Seriously though, I used a Mossberg 500 for several years of turkey hunting. Never had an issue with it and I wasn't very nice to it. Now my brother has it and it's still killing turkeys.

My dept. has several Mossburg 500 & 590s after years of neglect, they still work. The 590 is better because it has a metal safety, the only thing that has broken in our guns. If the deal is right I think you can get the metal safety from Brownell's if you go with a 500.

 

[synergy]

the blued finish will rust before a parked finish will.

 

[G56]

Parkerized isn't pretty, but it is a very practical finish, the parkerizing tends to retain oil better than a smooth finish, therefore more rust/weather resistant, that's why it's a traditional military finish.

Thanks alot for the input gang!



Bought the gun today and I am loving it! I would reccomend it to anyone! Very much fun to shoot 00 buckshot at water jugs!

Here is my mossy 500, I added a Knoxx Spec Ops stock for recoil purposes and the side saddle cause it looks cool LOL!! Thinking about a Hogue Forend at some point and DEFINETLY some kind of light since this is a heavy two handed gun.
